Leading Into New Frontiers

This article discusses a leadership development program for nurse managers (NMs). Development of NMs is essential to increase competency and provide support. This program was composed of alternating interactive presentations and cohort coaching that occurred over 11 months. Competencies were evaluated at baseline and conclusion of the program. Participants reported an increase in multiple competency areas and rated the program as effective. Leaders should consider implementing similar programs that support the increased competency of NMs.
